Sixth Patriarch Hui Nang

-o0o-

 The Comb Section

The name of this Sutta is  the Sixth Dharma Patriarch of Dharma,  the proper name is  "The Sixth Dharma Patriarchs."  "Sutra" is the common name of the Sutta. Buddhist scriptures often use seven types to distinguish: ie Single Person, Single French, Single, French, Human, France, and France. As  the Buddha Sutra Amitabha Sutta  is the Single Form, because the Buddha and  Amitabha Buddha are human, and cultivate into Buddhas. The main person is Buddha, Buddha is the person, so the Chinese who write the word Buddha have the human side. Single Dharma set up such as  the Prajna  Sutta , the Sutta of Nirvana.  Nirvana is the law, Nirvana means immortality. Don Du makes statements such as  the Buddhist Sermon on Pham Vong, If you strictly observe the precepts, you can produce clarity, like the treasure of the Great Realm of Brahma. If breaking the world, knowing the law, there is a place of smuggling, property smuggling all goes to the three evil paths: hell, hungry ghosts, animals, that place does not have any mistress. For example, the Dharma Law is set up like  the Lotus Sutra, the Magic Dhamma is the Dharma and the  Lotus Sutra is an example. Nhan Du makes the same story as  the Tathagata Lion King,  Tathagata is the person, Lion is the example, Buddha preaches like the red lion. The Dharma set up the scriptures like  Manjushri Sutta.  The Enlightenment Full of Laws such as  the Great Enlightenment of the Buddha Adornment of the Buddha,  Great Enlightenment of the Dharma, the Buddha of the People, the Adornment of the Flowers, for example.

But the Book  of the Dharma Patriarchs of Dafa  is the Chinese Sutta, not the Indian Sutta, so in addition to the seven types set out, there is another one called the Land of the Topic. The Sixth Patriarch is human, Dharma is the Dharma, Dan is the land, so this sutta is the Dharma Realm of origin, cannot be taught according to the above seven types of propositions.

The Luc Luc throne is not easy to inherit and take charge. Why? Because so many people want to kill Him. Even his disciple, Chi Triet, sought to kill Him. So the Great Master, after he obtained the dharma, took refuge for sixteen years in the hunters' group. Even after the establishment of the Dharma Forum at the Nam Hoa Tu, there were still outsiders who wanted to kill Him publicly. So the Great Master ran up the mountain hidden in the rock to meditate, the stone that the Great Master took refuge in, is still found in Nam Hoa Tu.

Where is the Great Patriarch from? This starts from His Bodhidharma. Bodhi means Giac, Dat Ma means Dharma. Bodhidharma is the twenty-eighth Patriarch in India, but why is he not in India who is a Patriarch but goes to China to do? Because long ago Buddha had a long life: By the time of the Twenty-Eighth Patriarch's life, Mahayana Buddhism would be transmitted to China. Because of such conditions, Bodhidharma Bodhisattva took a boat to China to evangelize. But at that time the Buddha Dharma in China, it seemed that it did not seem to exist, because it was just doing external work such as chanting, studying the scriptures, teaching sermons, etc. At the same time, scholars regard Buddhism as a kind of education for research and discussion.

The teachings that Buddhism says must follow and follow. But in the Southern and Northern Chinese period, there were no genuine people who practiced meditation, fearing misery. This is the same in America now. Sit a little leg pain then stretched his legs, tilted, swayed, massage for a while. People are people anyway! Also afraid of suffering, fear of extreme!

Before the Patriarch Dat Ma came to China, he sent two disciples, Daàdà and Da Xa, to China to teach the dharma of enlightenment, namely Zen Buddhism. Whoever doubted that the two monks came to China to encounter a heart of disobedience, all the monks at that time did not respect them. After that, they went to Lu Son to meet with Master Hue Vien; Hue Vien specializes in teaching the concept of reciting Buddha's name. Venerable Hue Vien asked:

–You are Indian monks, what are the two dharma disciplines, why are there no-one attending?

The Buddha Da and Da Xa only spoke very little Chinese, so he reached out and said:

-Look! Is my hand grasping and unfolding quickly?

-Very fast.

–The subject and affliction are just as quick.

Great Master Hue Vien immediately enlightened, knew that Bodhi and afflictions are not different. Bodhi news negativity, negativity ie Bodhi! Hui Vien Vien after enlightenment, reverently nourished both Buddha Da and Da Xa. But not long ago these two high-ranking Indian Sangha were reborn on the same day. The tombs of the two of them are still in Lu Son.

Master Dat Ma saw that the Mahayana identity in China was ripe, and not afraid of hardship and remote roads, bringing Mahayana Buddhism to China. But at that time because of the unintelligent language, the Chinese called Him "Malachi." Children who saw His face and long beard all ran away in panic. It is thought that he came to arrest children so he did not allow children to approach him.

Then the Patriarch Dat Ma came to Nanjing to listen to the Dharma Master Quang preaching, seeing the vengeance: "Heavenly gods spread offerings of flowers, under the golden lotus earth appear." This realm is the only one who has attained the Five Eyes of Lucifer. After the Sutta was finished, it was up to the visiting part, asking for the dharma, Master Dat Ma asked:

-Magician! What are you doing here?

Than Quang answered:

–I am here teaching the Sutta.

–What do you teach Kinh?

–I preach the Sutta, bringing people to death and enlightenment.

–How can we attain birth and death? Sutra that he preached is black and white paper, what do you use that can help willow people to die?

Shen asked that there was no way to answer that, so embarrassed and angry. Although the Dharma Master Than Quang preached the sutras, he was scattered with offerings of flowers, but he still has such a temper. So I say contemporary Dharma does not seem to exist. The sorceress Than Quang angrily took the Buddha's prayer string made of iron and said:

–You dare destroy the method!

Saying so immediately used string to hit Dat Ma in the face. Master Dat Ma, although he knows martial arts, did not expect Than Quang to be as good as that, said he did not immediately move his martial arts, resulting in two broken teeth. It is said that if the Saints' teeth were broken or pulled down, they would be in drought for three years. Dam Ma thought: "Three years without rain, starving to death so many people. I came to China to want to save sentient beings, not to harm sentient beings," so he swallowed two teeth into his stomach, not saying one. the word immediately left.

Because he is a monk, he is also a Patriarch, and has been able to endure such things. On the way, he met Anh Vu bird locked in a cage. Chim Anh Vũ was even smarter than Than Quang because he knew that Bodhidharma was a Patriarch, saying to him:

- Come back to the West, come back to the West, sometimes He will teach us how to get out of the cage.

Dat Ma has not come to China and has met the tri-phan, now Anh Vu is his knowledge. Hearing the bird visiting his teacher like that, Dat Ma was very happy to teach him a secret: "Want to get rid of the cage, legs straightened, eyes closed, this is a magic device, help me escape the cage."

Mr. Vu, after understanding the method of escaping from the cage, said: "Now I understand, thank you for teaching." Vu saw the owner return from far away, waiting for the owner to approach him, he immediately used that method. Every day the owner returned to play with his beloved bird to spend his melancholy late, now seeing his beloved brother Vu lying motionless in the cage very worried, he opened the cage to take Anh Vu to the palm of his hand: "Oh! The bird's body is still hot." Because the fake bird died, the hot air remained. The owner just opened his hand and Anh Vu flew away! The cage effect is very effective.

We are still in a cage today, we should not assume that we are free. Want to eat, eat, want to drink, drink, do not preserve rules for freedom. This is so delirious because of the wrong understanding of freedom. Righteous freedom is samsaric freedom, to fly to heaven, to heaven, to burrow to the ground, to burrow; to have such guarantees is called true freedom.

Lecturing about "Lu Qingjing," I used to preach badly, but dare to preach. There are also great teachers but did not dare to preach. I did not teach well but tried to teach, later good teachers should follow that lead and continue teaching. Later you open your mind, you can preach better than me. Good lectures are learned from bad lectures.

The magician Shen Guang broke the Venerable Master's teeth with black face, but saw that the Venerable India had no reaction, so he thought he won. But soon the impermanent devil who came to the Sorcerer said:

--Mage, his life is over today. King Yama La sent me to invite him to go.

- Do I have to die, too? I preached the heavenly flowers and offerings, the land appeared a golden lotus but could not end the cycle of birth and death, who else can end the cycle of birth and death?

-Yes! It was the Venerable Master with the black face that he broke those two teeth. Pluto not only could not control His destiny, but every day he had to turn to Him to pay homage.

–Sister brother! Can you wait for me a moment? Please speak to Pluto for an hour, please give me a little while so that I can study the Venerable Master's life-and-death process.

–If he was so sincere, this would not be impossible to deal with flexibly.

Than Quang heard very happy, could not keep up with slippers, barefoot chasing the Founder Master Dat Ma. On the way, he met the bird Anh Vu who was helped by him from the cage. Mr. Vũ told Thần Quang how the Dalai Lama helped him. Than Quang followed behind O Sensei's back, but he didn't pay attention. Than Quang followed until the Mount Hung Nhi in Lac Duong (Thieu Lam Pagoda, Tung Son, Ha Nam). The Patriarch Dat Ma was sitting there meditating, He sat for nine years, and Lord Quang also knelt for nine years. A while ago, when I was preaching to this koan, there was an eleven-year-old boy who listened to it very excitedly, and asked: "Shen Guang knelt for nine years, so would you eat?" I replied, "How can I live after nine years of eating? At the same time, when the Patriarch Dat Ma ate rice, Than Quang also ate rice, when Dat Ma meditated, God Quang knelt, but not in the book. write this down.

During the nine-year period of the Dalai Lama there were many people who took refuge and bowed to Him to be Teachers.

Than Quang also knelt for nine years. One day heavy snow, snow covered the hips. Dat Ma said:

- Blood so big, what did he kneel for?

–Bach Patriarch, I want to kill the life and death. In the past, when I taught the Sutta, I cannot kill the life and death stage, now I would like to ask the Founder Master to teach me the method of death and death.

–What do you see?

--Bach To, it was snowing.

–What color is the blood?

–Bach Patriarch, the snow is white.

–You wait until it is snowing red, then I will teach you the will of the life-and-death process. If it does not snow red, you should not expect me to teach you. You are such a cruel monk, using a string of reciting the Buddha's iron to break my two teeth, I will not take revenge on you and I am also very compassionate, how can I teach you the dharma?

Dat Ma raised such a difficult problem to test Than Quang, but Than Quang solved it. Than Quang saw on the wall that there was a holy sword of a religious person, when he used to prepare at breaking, bring a sword to cut off his head, not to violate the world. Than Quang immediately took down the sword and severed his arm, the blood falling to the ground turned the snow into red snow. Than Quang immediately grabbed a handful of red snow and offered it to him and said:

–Bed Patriarch, he saw, this is really red snow.

This was inherently expected, just because he wanted to test the true nature of Than Quang, but Dat Ma raised the issue of this challenge. So he was very happy to say,

- I have come to China without any effort, encountering you who is sincere in praying for such austerity, even leaving your own arm to pray for dharma, truly having a heart.

After that, Mr. Dat Ma brought the method of mind-initiation, directing human mind, and knowledge of Buddha nature to pass to Quang. After His Holiness finished teaching the dharma discourse, Spirit Quang immediately generated the mind of discernment saying:

- I cut off my arm, it was very painful, my mind was also very aching, so please take care of me.

- Bring your mind out here, I can help you peace of mind!

Than Quang went to find his mind, Northeastern Northwest, in heaven and on earth, searching forever without seeing his mind. Shen Guang said:

–I can't find it.

–I have peace of mind for you.

Than Quang immediately suddenly got enlightened. So Than Quang said:

Everything is the best way, the best place in China?

Than Quang ignorance prevented Dat Ma.

Hân paints money so fast,

Just pray for that point of Diem La.

Everything is the rule, so where is the rule? Than Quang did not know the meaning of the word  "fit,"  so chased after Dat Ma, at Mount Hung Nhi kneeling for nine years, praying to the Founder Master to show how to kill the life and death, to escape from Pluto.

Than Quang, after being transmitted by the Founder Master Dat Ma, immediately changed his name to Hue Kha, which is full wisdom and good fullness. Venerable Hue Kha asked the Patriarch Dat Ma:

–Bach Patriarch, in India Do you have any disciples who attain the dharma? In India, when transmitting dharma, will you give ca, y, or bowls to your disciples as evidence?

–No, in India we propagate the Dharma without bringing the bowls of the robes as a medical object, because the Indians' mind is very straightforward, practicing enlightenment and saying enlightenment, just having someone who attains enlightenment is enough . If not yet sealed, they will not say: I have attained enlightenment, I have witnessed Arhat, or I have been a Bodhisattva. Chinese people are not like that. In China, people who have Mahayana nature are also many, but the people who speak the language are not few, austerities have not achieved the career but boast already; if not, he has said that he has proved fruit, so he needs to use sa vajra to prove it. So now we give him sa ca bowl, he should take care of it.

Patriarch Dat Ma came to China, having been poisoned six times, because at the time of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were two wizards who wanted to harm him, one was Bodhi Luu Chi and one was a Lawyer Quang Thong. They were very jealous of Him, made some vegetarian dishes, including extremely powerful poisons, and offered them to Him. He knows that food is poisonous but still eating normally. After eating, he asked someone to bring back a tray. He vomited a couple of snakes. It turned out the poison had turned into a snake. Bodhi Lưu Chi sees poison cannot kill Him, does not understand because of what cause. So, the second time, the dosage of poison was doubled. Dat Ma also used life, finished eating sitting on a large rock, spraying out the poison, the power of poison broke the rock. After that, four more poisonous poisons were unable to harm him.

One day, Patriarch Dat Ma told Venerable Hue Kha that:

- I came to China, so that sentient beings have a Mahayana nature. Now the dharma has passed, we have had an heir, now the President has come.

After the Patriarch Dat Ma passed away, the disciples used coffins to wrap his body and bury it. But at that time, Bac Wei had an envoy named Tong Van, in Thong Lanh area, on his way to meet Master Dat Ma. O Sensei, holding sandals, told Tong Van:

–The Kingdom of your country is dead today, you should hurry back.

Tong Yun asked:

- Master, where are you going?

–I return to India.

- Master, who did you teach the Dharma to?

- Thirty years later in China.

Tong Yun then returned to Bắc Wei to bring this story to everyone, but no one believed it. That's why everyone just threw the tomb of Patriarch Dat Ma, and there was only a sandal in the coffin, but nothing else. So where did Master Dat Ma go? Everyone also did not know, afraid that today he came to America without knowing it, because He could change everything, so no one could recognize Him. When he came to China, he said he was one hundred and fifty years old, but by the time he was still a hundred and fifty years old, history had no way to verify it.

When the Patriarch Dat Ma was about to die, he said:

- I went to China to teach the Dharma to three people, Master Hue Kha got the marrow, the Zen Master Dao got the bones, the Tao Te monk (the Bhikkhuni ni Total Tri) got the meat.

The Taoist monks and nuns memorized the  Lotus Sutra,  after passing away from their mouth, they bloomed a blue lotus flower. Because the Patriarch Patriarch took His body to divide among others, so in America you cannot find him.

Second Patriarch Hue Kha, surnamed Than Quang, was born in the Northern Te Dynasty. At the time of his birth, his parents saw Kim Giap Than Nhan, the guardian of Vi Da Bodhisattva, exaggerating the aura of protection to this newly born Patriarch, so his name was called Than Quang. His natural intelligence, memory is very chewy, so people are praised:  The lower order of goods, hearing atrocious human ear.  Not only can he see ten lines of text, but a common person sees one line, then He can see ten lines, very quickly; one hundred people talked at the same time. He all heard very clearly, his sensitivity was very sensitive.

But this Patriarch was very short-tempered, he did not like to talk immediately to fight people. Forty years ago, at the time of preaching the sermon, I also brought iron strings to help people. Therefore, when he met the Patriarch Dat Ma, he beat him with a string, resulting in a kneeling of nine years, having to cut off one of his arms. You think if you don't have such a temper, you can cut off your arm on your own, without feeling pain, and wait until the moment when you are right to attain it to feel pain. This is because he is very short-tempered; if he is not hot-tempered, cutting off his arm doesn't hurt. Pain is affliction.

At the age of forty, Hui Kha met with Bodhi Patriarch Bodhidharma, and after fleeing the Dharma, fled for forty years, because at the time, Bodhi Luu Chi and Lawyer Quang Thong, specialized in making it difficult for the disciples of the Patriarch. Master Dat Ma, even met he wanted to kill. Bodhidharma was poisoned by two of them, much less his disciple! Great Master Hue Kha listened to the Teachers should have hidden, evading those who cause difficulties. Until the Great Master Hui Kha eighty years old, he began to propagate the Buddha Dharma, educating sentient beings. Until you meet the Three Patriarchs, after enduring the Dharma, telling the Three Sisters to carefully protect and keep the bowl of evidence as evidence, and need to hide to avoid problems and persecution.

The Great Master Hui Kha then pretended to be crazy, but when he met predestined beings, He immediately universalized their education. Although he pretended to be crazy, because of his affinity with sentient beings, so many people trusted him. Although he was pretending to be crazy, but Bo Bodhisattva's group still had hatred, and went to the government to accuse the Great Master Hue Kha, saying that he was a monster that fascinated the people, so that the people would worship him. The contemporary emperor, when he was gullible, sent down the holy one, ordered the government to arrest Hue Kha for interrogation:

–You are a person or a monster?

Hui Shishang answered:

–I'm a monster.

The interrogator, who had just heard him say that, immediately knew that he was unjust, should ask again:

–You should be clear, are you a monster?

–I am truly a monster.

Because the rule of law did not allow demons to fascinate the world, so they had to summon the Emperor and take Him to cut them down. Oh, does this world have truth? He was the second Patriarch whose governor said he was a goblin.

Master Hue Kha shed tears, telling them:

- We have to live this newspaper!

Second Patriarch was very short-tempered, and he was not afraid of anything. If he was afraid of death, he would not claim to be a monster. He felt pity because Buddha Dharma when he was alive, was not widely understood. He said that the Buddha Dharma, until the time of the Four Patriarchs, would fall into a famous general. After crying, he immediately said to the executioner:

–You kill me again!

The executioner slashed his head, but strangely, no blood flowed out, only the milky white water. Do you think this is somewhat myth? You can believe it, but you cannot believe it. You believe, I can use very simple reasons to explain. This is when the practitioner reaches the positive body, all the blood in the body becomes white. You say you don't believe, of course you didn't! If you believe, you have also become the second Master.

The executive officer saw the situation like that and followed the truth to the emperor:

–That person is a youkai, I killed him but I did not see the blood, only the white water flowed out of the milk, but the face at death was like living, this proves that he is really a monster .

But the Emperor knew that he had mistakenly killed a saint, because in India the twenty-fourth Patriarch was the fake Venerable Lion, when he was beheaded he did not bleed but only ran white milk. This proves that the pure human being is negative, because without gonorrhea there is no ignorance, all negative sounds turn into positive.

Someone asked:

- Master, just now you said, Great Master Hue Kha is very hot, how can there be no ignorance?

Need to know clearly, the temperament of the Great Master Hue Kha is the temperament of Dai Rings, Dai Dung, Dai Tri, Dai Hue, completely unlike the heat like bombs of you and me. You need to hear clearly, each person's temper is not the same. The heat of wisdom is that it can be tolerated with periodic causality, without doing the opposite of morality.

The Emperor, after knowing that Great Master Hue Kha was a bodhisattva bodily, came to his penance: "There is a Bodhisattva in our country, and I do not know how to protect him, I will kill him." Then ordered the great martial arts master to take refuge in Nhi To Hue Kha. Although he died, he was still able to acquire a number of such disciples.

Sui, Tam To Increase, no one knows the identity of his name. When he met the Second Patriarch, his whole body was scabies like lepers. Nhi To asked:

–Where are you from? What to do here?

–I came to take refuge in the Venerable Master to learn Buddhism.

- He is so ill so impure, how can he learn Buddhism?

Tam To was very intelligent, even smarter than Nhi To, then replied:

- I am a sick person, and you are a Venerable, but my mind and I are not different.

The Second Patient heard that this person was not ordinary, and immediately said:

- Needless to say, I already knew.

After saying, he taught the Dharma to Tam To and taught Tam To to hide to avoid the murder of the Bo Bodhisattva's Party:

–Do not let people know I have taught you.

Therefore, the Three Patriarchs of Sangha learned the way of the Second Patriarch, pretending to be crazy, silently going to places to educate sentient beings. At that time, the North Chu Vu De destroyed Buddha Dharma, so He lived in the mountains for more than ten years. On the mountain, there were many tigers, but when he came here, all the animals left.

After transmitting the Dharma to the Four Patriarchs, the Third Patriarch set up Thien Tang Trai (sometimes offering a thousand monks to make offerings to the boys). Perfect man, he said to the masses:

–You think that sitting cross-legged is the best method, now I show you a special way of dying. My samsara is very free, unrestricted by time.

After saying, the left hand grabbed the tree branch, feet raised like that, but calmly passed away. When he passed away, was how old he was, who he was from and where he was, no one knew.

When someone listened to it, they were terrified:

- The first Patriarch Bodhidharma was poisoned to death, the second Patriarch was killed, and the third Patriarch grabbed branches and trees. I really didn't dare to be the Founder, so dangerous!

You don't want to do it, and you can't do it, because you are afraid of dying. To be the Patriarch means not to be afraid of death, to see that death and birth are the same, so it is said, "Disturbing means Bodhi, birth and death Nirvana. Walking around the world, educating beings. " That can only be the Founder. You are so scared, you have fear, even as a disciple of O Sensei, it is not possible. O Sensei is not afraid of suffering, not afraid of accidents, not afraid of being born, not afraid of dying. You are not afraid of death to be able to be the Founder. Now if anyone is not afraid of death, I immediately call him the Founder.

From the four religions, as a child, when he was a child, he followed the Sangha ordained to study and studied for sixty years. When he opened his eyes, ordinary people were startled like earthquakes. Why so? No one knows. But that is His mighty virtue.

In the Trinh Quan dynasty in the seventeenth year (AD 644), Thai Tong sent envoys to invite him to the royal palace to make offerings, to worship him as a teacher. If the Sorcerer of this generation, the Emperor did not invite, he would also seek to meet the Emperor, depending on him, let alone this occasion of worshiping the bow sometimes? But the four ancestors refused, choosing words:

- My age has grown, so I can't go. Old age weak health, so can not go to the City.

The ambassador returned and asked the Emperor,

- You return to speak to the four founders, no matter how old you are, I still invite you to the palace to make offerings.

The messenger went to the four founders, and said unto him,

- The Venerable said that no matter how old he was, he would use the palanquin to bring him into the palace to make offerings.

In the past there were no airplanes, unlike now the traffic is very convenient. Tu To answered:

- No way, I'm too old, if you insist on wanting me to go, cut off my head and take it away. Never mind my mind will not go anyway.

The messenger had no way, only to return to bring such an incident to the emperor:

- That Venerable was very strange, nor did he know his mistress. He said that even though beheading him, he did not come to meet His Majesty.

- Okay, go and bring his head.

The king used a box, which contained a sharp sword and handed it to the angel and said:

--Coming this sword, beheading him and bringing it here.

But when he was about to depart, the Emperor said to the angel:

- No matter what, you cannot hurt the Venerable Master.

The envoy, understanding the Emperor's deep intention, immediately returned to the Four Patriarch's seat and said:

–The Venerable Master! Finally did he go or not? If not, this sword will be used to chop off His head, bringing His head to the king.

Master Dao Tin said:

-Very good! My head can meet the king, it is my honor, invite Him to cut my head off again!

The angel took the sword to make a behead like Tu To's head. But seeing that the Four Patriarchs, without hesitation, held out his head and slashed at him, he put down his sword and put it back in the box. The Master Dao Tin closed his eyes and waited for the angel to behead, but waited for a long time but did not see any movement. Then he angrily shouted:

–Why don't you cut my head off?

The situation now is no different from the case of the Second Patriarch. The angel said:

- The King sent me to say that, but not to harm Him.

Master Dao Tin finished listening and laughed and said:

–So you know, there are people in the world who aren't afraid to die!

The four founders of Sima, renunciation of dharma name Dao Tin, were a family of famous people at that time. Since childhood, when he was ordained as a monk, he was seventy-two years old and sixty years without back projection. Once he was on a religious mountain, a mob of thieves surrounded the city for more than a hundred days, the food in the city and the drinking water were all completely dry. The Master saw the situation like that, and came to the city to teach all the army and people to chant  "Ma Ha Bat Nha Ba La Mat Da."  Reciting soon, the enemy withdrew and retreated, the dried well was spilling naturally into the fresh water, this is a sensing realm.

At that time, he used Buddha's eyes to observe, see Mount Dau Dau in Hebei, purple clouds revolving around, covering the whole mountain. These purple clouds were auspicious sign, so He went to dwell in this mountain, and renamed the mountain as Song Phong Son.

He instructed sentient beings with intense difficulty, hoping that they would let the evil go to do good, but they kept following the old path and continued to do evil, not listening to the teachings. The four foundations patiently apply all kinds of disciplined means of discipline, causing them to give up the wrong rules. For more than forty years of propagating the Buddha Dharma, he instructed countless beings.

One day the Fourth Patriarch told them:

–You have to make me a tower, I'm going to leave.

When the Chedi was built, Tang Vinh Huy lived in the second year (A.D. 651), on the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month of the Fourth month, the Fourth Patriarch was not ill but passed away. His disciples immediately placed Him in a Stupa made of stone. Stupa used to lock iron locked carefully. A year later, the door of the tower opened automatically, and they saw that the Four Patriarchs still sat in the same seat, vividly the same as when they lived, but the meat was dry. The Five Great Patriarchs, seeing the great generals of the Four Patriarchs so happy. He then used yellow oil cloth to preserve the flesh of the Four Patriarchs. To this day the flesh of the Four Patriarchs remains for worshipers to admire the offering.

The dynasty of Ngu To Hoang Rings, Chau family, is Hoang Mai (Hoang Mai district now belongs to Hubei province, Song Phong mountain of Hoang Mai district), seven-year-old renunciate, Tu Tu To worship as a teacher, thirteen years old Sa di gender. Tanh Tanh said less, but the school repeatedly raped contempt, he still calmly, as if nothing happened. In the day, according to their work, whatever they do; At night, meditate to maintain the body and mind, do not talk about marketing, follow the four founders of Buddhism for thirty years. The Five Great Bodies were eight feet tall and the appearance was extraordinary. He resided on Bang Mau Mountain, east of Song Phong Mountain, so at that time he was called "Dong Son Method." Once saw a bunch of bandits swarming around Hubei citadel, blocking all roads, Ngu To from Dong Son went into the city. When the bandits saw him afraid, there was no soul left. Because the bandits saw that the robbers were not the Patriarch but the Kim Giap Kim Cang Vuong Bodhisattva, holding the air of protection, dreadful virtue and radiant light. The bandits dispersed, so that the city could be besieged.

How can the Master transform the embodiment of Kim Cang King Bodhisattva? Because the Five Patriarchs were practitioners, they often recited the Surangama mantra. The Shurangama Mantra said, "If anyone conscientiously recites the Shurangama Mantra, he will be protected by the eighty-four thousand Bodhisattva Bodhisattva in any case of accident." King Cao Tong of the Tang Dynasty, many times, he invited the Great Master to the royal palace to make offerings, but all were skillfully rejected by the Great Master. Finally, the Emperor immediately gave many gifts and valuable medicines to the Five Patriarchs.

Duong Ham Hanh in the fifth year (AD 674), Ngu To told his disciples:

–You guys make me a tower, I'm going to leave.

The following month on the fourteenth day, he asked again:

- Is the tower ready?

The disciples replied:

–Bach Master, the tower has been completed.

–For many years, we have taught sentient beings, cultivated people with predestined relationships, and created riches for the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng. Now he has ten people who are French, let him establish the ashram, uphold Buddhism, propagate the Dharma, educate sentient beings.

The ten great disciples, namely Tu Tu, Tri Tham, Hue Tibet, Huyen Xuong, Lao An, Phap Nhu, Tri Duc, Nghia Phuong, Hue Nang and Luu Chu Bo. Ngu To sent off these ten people everywhere the teachers of sentient beings.

Not long, the Five Foundations sat and entered Nirvana. During seventy-four years, wide open Dharma, they are very crowded, giving medicine to the Great Master Hui Neng.

Above, the twenty-eight-century Bodhidharma Bodhisattva Tay's tactics have been brought into the East, the First Patriarch of Zen Buddhism. Life succession, most single transmission, inherit the Dharma eye of the Buddha Shakyamuni, until the legend of the Sixth Patriarch Hue Nang.

"The Sixth Patriarch Bao Dan Kinh Kinh tu," compiled by Phap Hai Zen Master, a prime disciple of the Sixth Patriarch, records the peaceful birth of Luc To.

The great name is Hue Nang. His father is Lu, Thuy Hanh Thao and his mother is Ly Thi.

He was born in the Tang dynasty, Trinh Quan year, the twelfth year, to the year of Mau Tuat, the second day of the eighth month, the year of the Rat.

At birth, he had an aura directed toward the emptiness and a fragrance burst through the whole house.

As soon as the morning dawned, two strange monks came to call and called to his father and said, "Nhon had a baby born the night before, so we came to name it for him. Should be put on Hue, under the word Nang . "

His father asked, "Why is it called Hue Hui?"

A monk answered, "Hue means bringing dharma to give sentient beings, Nang means to do Buddha's work."

After speaking, the two monks immediately went out, not knowing where to go.

Great master when his mother's womb, no milk, at night with the gods pouring nectar for him at night.

Lecture:

The great name is Hue Nang, his father's name is Lu Hanh Thao and his mother's name is Ly. The Great Master was born in the Tang dynasty in the twelfth year (AD 638), the Rat year of the eighth month of the year of the Rooster. At the time of his birth, the illumination illuminated the emptiness, just like the peak of Buddha emitting light, strange incense filled the house. Early in the morning, two monks came to visit and said:

- The child was born last night with the Buddha Dharma, so we came here to name the baby, upper Hue Lower Energy is the name.

His father did not understand and asked:

–Why is it called Hui Neng?

Increase response:

- "Hue" is the use of Dharma to enlighten the sentient beings, "Power" is to spread the Dharma.

After saying so, go away, do not know where to go. Hui Neng was born, did not drink breast milk but grew up. According to legend, every night there was a god who came to drink nectar.

When he was twenty-four years old, he heard the Sutta from the Sutta. He visited the Five Great Patriarchs and prayed for his seal.

Lecture:

One day, Hui Nang was selling firewood, listening to a guest chanting  the Kim Cang Sutra, when he  heard the phrase "Falcon, headless, wondrous being born", immediately enlightened. Currently many people have heard the  Sutta , but no one has been enlightened. I hope that in the West, someone who hears the words "love to be headless and wonder of a child" can understand the meaning and immediately become enlightened.

After enlightenment, the Great Master did not go everywhere saying, "Look! I was enlightened." He was not like some people today, only understanding a little superficial knowledge about Buddhism, went everywhere to boast that he was enlightened. Even though the ancients were enlightened, they did not dare to recklessly say that they were enlightened. If you are enlightened, you need to find a good eye-discerning Thien. That is the reason that Luc To went to Hoang Mai to pray for the Five Great Seals.

From ancient times to the present, enlightened people never dare to affirm themselves; Need to know the enlightenment and not mistakenly different from a heaven, how could the puppet legs be indistinguishable, take the real replacement, the fish mixed with the grain of the continent, close your eyes and talk?

Nowadays, there are some unconscious young people, after using drugs, LSD, intoxication, losing their minds. At that time, Maou enchanted the world, pretending to be good knowledge and proving to them that:

-Use then, you've reached the realm  is not , but you can not be in vain, the need to return to my place, I have premises, which houses, has resorts, comfortable amenities!

When these people heard, they worshiped the demon king as a teacher, in fact those evil people, who did not know if they were real or fake, so there was a saying: "teachers and students are confused, the blind lead the blind" .

So we need to use sutras to prove it. The sutras absolutely do not say that the fool is in vain building a room. Although missiles can now fly to the moon, it is impossible to set up floors in the air. How can such a childish argument be made?

We are very busy now, waking up to the morning four o'clock in the morning. We on this surface are busy building houses, but we can't build in vain. Why so? Because we are on the ground, houses need to be built on the ground. We forget this body, and create the body of Kim Cang, which is like our home, and one day it will be damaged. From now on until early evening, we are busy burning and practicing, until finally we can practice and reach the indestructible body of Kim Cang. After accomplishing the body of Kim Cang indestructible, it is possible for the mind to go into nothingness, above can go to heaven, below can go to the ground or to Long Palace. Without a passport or itinerary you can get to your destination, astronauts everywhere, but first you need to cultivate the indestructible body to reach this level.

The Five Patriarch looked at the Great Master, realized that he had the right merit, so he blessed him and taught him to succeed the Patriarch. At that time, it was aimed at the reign of Duong Cao Tong, the year of the Long Soc.

He passed away to the South for sixteen years.

Lecture:

After leaving Hoang Mai, Luc To did not have a safe place to stay. Because the disciples of Than Tu and other sects want to harm Him, the Great Master took refuge in a hunter group for sixteen years. During this time no one knew He was the Sixth Patriarch. On the one hand, he meditated on meditation and at the same time guarded the nets for hunters. If there are birds in the net, he will find all ways to free them. At this time he had enough time to practice his elaborate perfection without being disturbed by anyone.

If you are not sincere in spiritual practice, everything will be fine. Once the mind austerities, the miasma from the four directions leading to the eight directions, and all unimaginable phenomena can arise.

During the sixteen years living with the hunter group, Luc To was at peace. This is a wise refuge - no name, no benefit, no harm to people, but the true use of spiritual practice.

On the eighth day of January, the year of the Rat year, the reign of the Cao Cao Tong Dynasty of Nghi Phung, he and the Indian Dharma Master discussed the profound ethics. Indo-Dharma Master enlightenment enlightenment of the Great Master.

Lecture:

The two have discussed many times, giving their views on morality. Then who asks whom? That was the Exalted Dharma Master who asked the Great Patriarch So. Lu To solved the problem of the turbulent debate or the rough wind, in fact the mind is moving. The monk Indo-Tong was very surprised to hear a person at home who could speak such profound morality, so he immediately left the court to invite Luc To to his bureaucracy to discuss. The Exhuman Wizard asked:

- Where are you from, what is their name?

Mage Indo Tong, after learning that this house was a privileged disciple of the Five Patriarchs, who was passed down to the bowl by the Five Patriarch, He immediately prostrated to the Sixth Patriarch. Then ask the profound miraculous ethics in the scriptures, discuss turbulent winds. After discussing with Lu To, the Venerable An Tong understood and understood the meaning of Zen Buddhism.

On the full moon day of the month, Indo Dharma Master gathered all four of them to lay down his hair for the Great Master, and then through the eighth day of the second month of February, he gathered all the noble people and gave the Precepts fully to him.

Tri Quang Lawyer in Tay Kinh is Tho,

Lecture:

On the full moon day of the first month, the Dharma Master of India, gathered the four bhikkhus, Bhikkhu khưu ni, Uchiha ma, Uchiha, and performed the rituals for the Great Patriarch, making the monk become a monk. khưu.

Monks have many different reasons for renunciation. Some people have a hard life, seeing the renunciants offered by the people, there is something to eat that leaves the renunciation. There are people who leave home because of old age without children to care for them, they think, "After I leave home, take in a young disciple, it will take care of me like my children." Some people because they have robbed or robbed, or fled from the law, after renunciation down the hair, can avoid the government arrested their beheaded. Someone as a child was taken to the temple. Here are a few reasons people become monks. After becoming a renunciate, whether you can practice the practice correctly or not, it's hard to say.

There are superstitious  people  (love that believes). As some parents saw their child seriously ill, he thought, "My child may die from illness, so he should be taken to the temple for renunciation." Because of superstition, parents brought their children to the temple. The "superstitious" people have hope. There are people who are " superstitious " (believe in delusion), which means to believe according to the wrong views and wrong views, depending on the inaccurate thoughts that change according to the truth, as people often say: "mesmerizing in enchantment." Some people are " mesmerized but not convinced ," (both bewitched and unbelieving), in their delusion they don't believe in anything. But some people " believe without love ," these people use the mind of studying Buddhism,

Whether these renunciants can genuinely use the practice or not, are not very sure, or may have one or two percent of the true Dharma studies. But, if you are determined to be enlightened, to be born, then after renunciation you can diligently try your best to practice.

There are a few people out of the world, ie out of the three worlds: sex, gender identity, gender identity. After coming out of the three realms, there will no longer be attachment to lust, rupa, and rupa, because they have no attachment, seeing the three realms as spotted flowers in the middle of nowhere, so they speak beyond the bondage of the three realms. , out of the three realms. There are some people who are impatient, if you go home without disturbing your mind, you cannot attain enlightenment, so

The Sixth Patriarch is a special example, unlike the aforementioned reasons, because He has reached the realm of freedom, renunciation or renunciation nor is there anything wrong. As a lay person, he practiced the Bodhisattva path, unlike other ordinary lay people.

February 8 is the day Shakyamuni Buddha ordained, gathering on the Venerable Venerables in the ten directions - Chinese and Indian wizards - retiring, passing on the precepts to Luc. Nest. The Dharma Master An Tong invited Lawyer Tri Quang from Tay Kinh to be a Master Teacher for Luc To. Lawyer Tri Quang maintained the strict precepts, of the four majesty: action, pillar, seat, and crouch, all four majesty. Every election, every action of the Lawyer, needs to be in accordance with the law of law, cannot be arbitrary. So Kinh Lang Nghiem said: "Nghiem pure Bhikkhu, breaking the three precepts."

Hui Tei, a lawyer in Suzhou, is a Christian.

Zhu Shu Lawyer in Kinh Chau is a Teacher,

The Da La Lawyer in Trung Thien Truc talked about the world,

Multi-Tibetan Tantra in Tay Thien Truc witnesses.

Lecture:

Isma Sanskrit, which means justification, is the advocate during the ordination. Samma needs to verify that all the precepts are in accordance with the Dharma precepts, according to the rules set by Shakyamuni Buddha. Jobs if not in accordance with the Dharma, are not accepted by Yet.

At the time of the ordination, the world transmission master asked Master Yaman three times:

–Can it be passed on to this person?

Each time the Ghost must answer:

-May.

On the altar, Yet-ma sat on the left side of the precepts, the Professor-life teacher sat on the right, the remaining seven Precepts stood on either side. All of them are three Achishas and the seven Precepts. They represent the ten directions of the Buddhas to give teachings and transmissions. So ordained ordination is a very important thing.

"Teacher Life" is the classic transmission of life. Kỳ La is Sanskrit, which means "Cong Duc Hoa." Mage was a master of the three Abhidharma Sutta, so he was honored as the Tripitaka Dharma Master. All of the deities came to protect this talented Dharma Master, in his life there were many miraculous tales, "The Secret" that means manic, lush.

This World Precepts was made by the Tripitaka Venerable Mahayana Dharma Master of the Venerable Bridge of Sàsana in the Song Dynasty, and set up a stele inscribed with the words of Thunder, saying, "Later there will be a Bodhisattva Bodhisattva taking the precepts here. "

Lecture:

Na Bat bridge in Da La, meaning "Cong Duc Hien." This Sorcerer at Quang Hieu Pagoda set up a dharma forum, erected a stele on the platform, with the preface written: "In the following, there is a Bodhisattva body humiliation to receive full ordination here."

In Luong Vo De's reign, during the Thien Thien period, there was a Tripitaka Master Tri Duoc from Tay Thien Truc sitting on a boat across the sea to China, bringing a Bodhi tree from Thien Truc to plant on the edge of that boundary, and there were also put a stele saying such a prediction: "After one hundred and seventy years, there will be a Bodhisattva flesh and mortar explaining the upper vehicle under this tree, saving countless sentient beings, that is the Dharma master. receive the initiation of Buddha. "

Lecture:

Luong Vu De Thien Giam (AD in 502), from India Tripitaka Dharma Master Tri Duoc took a boat across the sea to come here, saw this dharma and stele, and took the Bodhi tree that He had brought from India When I came here, I planted next to the method and made a stele that predicted:

- One hundred and seventy years later, there will be a humiliation of a Bodhisattva body under the root of this Bodhi, opening the Mahayana Dharma, directing the mind and mind of the dharma, and achieving Buddhism.

Bodhi tree everywhere can grow, in China there are many types of this tree.

Formerly, Shakyamuni Buddha on the Linh Son festival sealed them with flowers, bringing the mind of the Buddhas to Venerable Ma Ha Ca Lettuce. The master is the one who transmits Buddha's mind and the Dharma master, who teaches the sermon.

The indestructible body of Professor Tri Duoc is still preserved in Nguyet Hoa Pagoda, five miles from Nam Hoa Pagoda. The administrator in the temple was ordained, not entertaining guests, so if you want to go to visit, you have to prepare food and drink. When I was at Nam Hoa Pagoda, I used to visit Nguyet Hoa Pagoda, seeing that the body of Dai Tri Tri Duoc was kept completely, completely, without any damage.

Truly like the word of thunder, the Great Teacher came to this place to generate and take the precepts, and only shows the weakness of the dharma transmission to the four of them.

Lecture:

The Sixth Patriarch, after descending his hair, took full-time precepts, and taught the sermon to the four of them, transmitting the nondual disciplines, that is, from Shakyamuni Buddha for everlasting transmission of the initiation.

Over the next year, in the spring, the Great Master came from Bao Gia and pretended to be monks. At that time the Indian monk and the monks and lay people, over a thousand people came to see him off and went straight to Cao Khe.

Lecture:

In the spring of the following year, Lu To retired from the mass and returned to Bao Lam. Black clothes (from) are of the renunciants, at that time the people in the house dressed in white (white), so said: from the thousands of people sent off the Great Master to Cao Khe.

There are people who have not come to Cao Khe yet say that they have been there, they pretend to be called Cao Khe and the esoteric Zen. In the Dharma everywhere, there is this phenomenon: fake Buddhism, fake brand.

At that time, there was the Lawyer of the Law in Kinh Chau, and the scholars said there were one hundred people, all of whom studied with the Master.

When the Great Master came to Bao Lam Temple in Cao Khe, and found that the temple was narrow, unable to tolerate them, he intended to expand. He visited a neighbor, Tran A Tien, who said, "Does the monk come here and wish to give mercy to a plot of land just enough to cover the specific altar?"

Lecture:

At that time Lawyer Thong Ung in Kinh Chau knew that the Patriarch was the dharma master transmitting the Buddha mind, and led his disciples to the Dharma Master. When the Master came to Cao Khe, seeing the small lecture hall, unable to tolerate such a large number of people, he intended to expand the lecture hall. He visited landlord Tran A Tien said:

- The owner can offer the monk a piece of land with this instrument?

Tran A Tien said, "How big is the Venerable Master's seat?"

The Great Master took the concrete plaque to show Tran A Tien, Asia Tien said: Okay. The Great Master then took out the instrument, zooming out, covering all four scenes of Cao Khe.

Lecture:

The Master gave his instrument to Tran A Tien to see. He said:

–If you only need a piece of land the size of an instrument, then I am willing to make an offering.

But when the Great Master spread out the instrument, not only throughout the Nam Hoa Pagoda but also more than ten acres of land were covered. At that time the four heavenly kings embodied, sitting in the four directions, so a new realm of such magic appeared.

Now at the pagoda there is Thien Vuong mountain because of this story. Tran A Tien said, "I know that the Master's magic power is very generous, but because the tombs of my ancestors are located in this land, the next day if there is a tower, please keep the graves. Hy Hy all worshiped, to be a permanent Bao-Phuong. Again this land has a white elephant-shaped vein, so it should only be peaceful so it would not be normal. "

After the pagoda was built, most did it according to Tran A Tien's request.

Each time the Great Master took a walk in the temple landscape, meeting some beautiful young country, he stopped and sat thinking.

Lecture:

Now in the pagoda scene, there is Thien Vuong Linh, which is the name of this story. Tran A Tien said:

–I know that Your Master has great magical power, but my great tomb is in this land, in the future, if you build Thap Pagoda, please leave the tomb of my ancestors, besides In other lands, I also made offerings to Tam Bao, permanently making Gia Lam land.

The leythorn of this land is very prosperous, the mountain is like a white elephant, which is a "protected area", that is a very good place to build ashrams. The terrain is high, the architecture should build a little low. Low terrain can build a little high, making the roof can be balanced, but should not be leveled, because if digging soil fear that it will damage the long circuits of the mountains, damaging feng shui , damage to spiritual energy.

The Sixth Patriarch often strolled in the scenery of the Pagoda, seeing where the scenery was beautiful stopped to rest.

Therefore, thirteen Lan-elegant was set up in those places, one of which is now the Fruit of the Institute. It all depends on Bao Lam ashram.

Originally in Bao Lam ashram, when before there was also the Tripitaka Tri Tri in Tay Thien Truc, from Nam Hai through the gate of Cao Khe, grabbed his hands with drinking water, heard the sweet fragrance, he was surprised. That said, "The water here is no different from Tay Thien Truc, on the source of the slot, there must be a victory and Lan-elegant establishment." He traced the stream up to the source of the crevices, looked around the four directions, built the country, his feet were immensely beautiful, etc. Thien Truc. "

Lecture:

Why is the land surrounding Nam Hoa Temple called Bao Lam? Bao Lam means Supreme Dharma Bao is acting in this place, the medical practitioners practice as much as trees in the forest. India Professor Tri Duoc, when drinking water at Cao Khe, felt a delicious taste just like in India. In contrast to the water up to the headwaters, to Bao Lam mountain at sunset, look around, everywhere are painted delicate water, he praised that:

- This mountain is very similar to Bao Lam mountain in Thien Truc, so named this place is Bao Lam Dao school.

Not only Him, Tripitaka Tri but many followers. He told them:

- The source of the stream is a place where a monastery can be established.

The monastery, called Lan-elegant, is Sanskrit, meaning tranquility of the land, and a pure place of practice. The land is pure, the green mountains surrounded, the scenery is beautiful, it is a place to win a religious life.

The monk called to Cao Hau villagers and said, "This mountain should set up a temple scene, after one hundred and seventy years, there will be a Supreme Master Dharma Bao acting on this place, the number of enlightened people is as much as the forest trees. , so he named the temple Bao Lam. "

At that time, there was a mandarin of the Chau district of Thieu Chau province, named Hau Kinh Trung, took the words to make a dedication to the king, the king accepted the request, and gave a sign to Bao Lam. The new world into a Buddhist temple scene. It was a temple that first existed in the Luong Dynasty, named Thien Giam, in its third year.

Lecture:

This village is called Cao Hau, the descendant of Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms era. Great Master Tri Duoc predicts one hundred and seventy years later, "Supreme Master Dharma" means the Sixth Patriarch in Bao Lam and the teaching of sentient beings. Increased monks and laypeople in this place, enlightened people as many as the trees in the forest, so this land is called "Bao Lam." At that time, the chief officer, Thieu Chau Hau Kinh Trung, brought the prediction of the Great Master Tri Duoc to the court and Luong Vo De gave the gift of Bao Lam. Thien Giam in the third year (AD 504), built this pagoda, which is the present Nam Hoa Pagoda.

In front of the temple, there is a pond in which a dragon often rises and falls, disturbing forest trees. One day, the dragon appeared greatly, making the waves swell, the clouds were dark, the disciples were terrified.

The master replied, "You can display a big image, but not a small image. If you are a dragon, you can transform; small becomes big, big becomes small."

Lecture:

The body of the Dragon was very large, so only seeing its body could not see its head, hovering in the water, causing waves to roar, waves rising ten meters, twenty yards, or even thirty feet high. It is positive and self-proclaimed, self-professed. They were all afraid to say:

–It is unbelievable, this dragon wants to harm us!

Lu To rebuked the dragon:

–If you really have magical power, can you transform from nothing to non-transform, you can customize as you wish, from big body to small body, from small body to big body , there are no obstacles.

The dragon suddenly fell down, took a small second to appear, jumped off the pond surface.

The opening of the bowl, said the challenge: "Surely you dare not squeeze in the bowl of the old monk?"

Dragon eagerly jumped in front of him, Great Master took the vessel of the bowl, the dragon struggled all the way around. The Great Master brings the alms bowl to the temple, gives the sermon to the dragon.

Lecture:

Lu To used words to make the dragon small, immediately no longer see the dragon, but in an instant a small dragon hovering and dancing appeared in the water. Lu To said:

–You have turned into a small body now, but you do not dare to jump into my bowl!

Dragon swimming in the water, swimming in front of the nest. Lu To did not wait for it to jump into the bowl, He immediately scooped it into the bowl.

Dragon immediately took off disguise. The skeleton is seven inches long, with the tail, horns and legs, all of which are available for transmission at the temple. After the Great Master fills that pond with stones. Now in front of the temple, on the left, there is an iron tower built there.

Lecture:

The Great Patriarch held a dragon bowl, returned to the dharma road, and gave a sermon to the dragon. Dragon heard the law of rebirth, escaping the body, leaving remains longer than seven inches long, the head of the horns and legs are full, handed down at the temple. The master went to fill this pond with rocks and soil. Besides the great palace, there is still an iron tower built on that pond.

In the Zen Master Phap Hai's alphabet, this pond is on the left, actually on the right. In "Luc To Dan Kinh uncle," Dinh Phuc Bao has not come to Nam Hoa Pagoda, of course not knowing where this pond is. According to the position of Luc's seat in the palace, the pond was on the right. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.7/9/2019.
